 Find the area (in cm2) of an equilateral triangle whose sides are 18 cm.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 81381\sqrt3.

The area of an equilateral triangle with side length 's' is given by:

Area = (3\sqrt{3}/4) × s2^2

In this case, the side length (s) is 18 cm. So, we substitute this value into the formula:

⇒ Area = (3\sqrt{3}/4) × (18)2^2

⇒ Area = (3\sqrt{3}/4) × 324

⇒ Area = 813\sqrt{3} cm2^2

Therefore, the area of the equilateral triangle is 81√3 square centimeters.
